The MCI 40TRY was the trolleybus demonstrator that Motor Coach Industries designed and built in 1942, the first electric trolley bus manufactured in Canada, known as Number 1532. It was used by the Winnipeg Electric Company on its own route until the late 1960s, a service of about 25 years, but it never became a regular production item for the company. The 1942 vehicle was built while the Winnipeg works were turning from coach production to the manufacturing needs of the Second World War.
